Level 3 Association?

[Max]

Yes, I've got the notification of an invitation to associations myself twice, but they were only notifications on mobile, when I touch on them, the game opens up in the Associations section that says is locked until level 4 and I don't see where to accept or reject it, so my understanding is that... Yeah, defo locked. That's why I don't understand

Well yes, I have seen people get into an association below level 4, I am pretty certain that that is a way people below level 4 can get into one, I am not too sure what is happening to you though as like I said, I have seen it work before.
